Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll be quick about it, because I don't want to draw out the meeting any longer. We've already gone past the scheduled time.
In her proposal, Ms. Dabrusin removed the requirement for the minister to come and explain his position on this fundamental issue. It's an indirect way of keeping the minister from having to reply to questions from our committee, to be accountable and to clarify matters for all Canadians and experts in the country who are wondering about this aspect of the bill. What I'm talking about here is the Liberal government's attempt to intervene in the regulatory process and to decide on behalf of users what they are attempting to do when they stream content on the various social networks. That's what it is trying to do by giving the CRTC more power to control content streamed over the Internet.
I really have trouble believing that we still have to talk about this today and that we will have to return to it Friday. We should have already voted on Ms. Harder's motion by now, as requested by Mr. Champoux. Unfortunately, it would appear that we will have to continue to discuss the matter on Friday, because of this intransigence.
